about me

I am a writer, mostly of adult mysteries but I have also written some short stories and a sci-fi book for youngsters. I live in the North West of England and I am involved with the Scouts, my local residents association and I am a school governor.
Despite this busy life, I still like to find time to write and to look after my cat, Suzy.
My background is in the field of child care, though I have been retired for some years. I still do the ofdd shift in security work, though.

Teenwars

Ron Parker

A sci-fi story for kids, with an anti-bullying theme


Aaron Ballantyne and Barry Cutler are the leaders of two rival kids' gangs, not the modern knife wielding variety, but the kind that youngsters used to naturally form themselves into.

They put aside their differences when confronted by a common enemy - not of this world.

 

The Blue-Bike Murder

Ron Parker

When Detective Inspector Tom Jackson has to investigate the murder of a youth, things are not as straightforward as they first seem.


Young Jake Swift is terrified that he is a suspect when his friend is murdered leading him to get into dangerous situations as Tom Jackson and his team try to solve the murder. WARNING While nothing is explicit, this story does contain some scenes involving child abuse. Anyone offended by stories of this nature should refrain from reading the book

 

Double Murder

Ron Parker

A Murder Mystery Thriller


Detective Inspector Tom Jackson and and his sergeant, Charles Rigby, are called in to investigate when Colin Lovell returns home to find his wife murdered and his young son missing. Jackson has more to worry about, however, than just a murder and a missing child.

Hi Ronald, (Great Name), I've only had time to look at the first couple of chapters of this story. Overall, I believe you have a good story going here, and the chapters are nice and short making them easy to read. I found no grammatical issues apart from the odd missing comma, though your heading... view book

Hi Tony, I've only had time to read the first chapter, which is rather long. While in the real book chapters can be as long or short as you like, on forums like this, it is better to split into shorter sections as people are more inclined to read shorter pieces an, therefore, you would get more c... view book

Hi Elina, I enjoyed the prologue of this, but I'm afraid after that, the present tense puts me off reading. There isn't anything wrong with the story or the writing though, just the tense. I feel sure if you re-weote in past tense, especially as it is, after all, a historical, it would be more ap... view book
